Skylanders Swap Force - Starter Pack (Nintendo Wii)

Product Information

Fire Shield (requires level: 6): Sprint (A) forward to build up a fire shield that is thrown forward once sprinting is stopped. Outside of Nintendo (and Sega in its early 90s pomp), it has often been almost impossible to find children's games that aren't soulless movie tie-ins or half-witted edutainment bore-fests. Now we have Skylanders and Lego Marvel Superheroes – games of craft and guile that believe in themselves and their players.

Portal Masters embark on an all-new adventure in the mysterious Cloudbreak Islands, home to a mystical volcano that erupts every hundred years to replenish the magic in Skylands. During an epic battle, a brave group of Skylanders were caught in the volcano's eruption, which blasted them apart and sent them to earth. But, the magic of the volcano gave these heroes a remarkable new power — the ability to swap halves — turning them into a special team known as the SWAP Force.Ronaghan, Neal (October 13, 2013).

Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. The major new gameplay addition is the ability to jump, which sounds trivial, but instantly opens up a range of new level design challenges. Suddenly the world becomes more interactive, more multi-layered, more interesting to explore. Every location in Swap Force is richly painted and extravagantly structured, filled with hidden alcoves, branching lanes and secret pathways that lead over, under and beside the main routes. From Wild West-themed canyons to misty, glistening tundras, the surreal landscapes are loaded with treasure chests, smashable objects, and collectable items. And like the best 3D platformers – like Super Mario 64 and Sonic Adventure – these floating islands are structured so that the player can often glimpse coming hazards or concealed treats from much earlier in the level, building suspense and bringing a sense of depth and complexity to each realm.
